This month the challenge is anything to do with Nature/Spring.I know my layout may look a bit mad but it is covered in flowers which reminds me of spring and I used the violet colour from the mood board! It is a scrap lift from a video I saw on Youtube inspired by Finnibair. https://www.youtube.com/user/ByFinnabairI have also made a more spring-like card below.I hope you like them.HERES HOW I MADE THIS LADY LAYOUTI first cut out the ladies image from the digi files and glued it onto my background paper.Then using hot glue I went crazy with adding lots of flowers, metal bits, chipboard pieces, pearls and buttons.When everything was glued on I covered the whole thing in white Gesso. Then I dried it with my heat tool. I then started spraying like crazy with my mists! (Cover the ladies face first though). Then just added the lace, title and the cameo. Done.I hope you like it.
